The administration has pushed for humanitarian pauses in fighting, which Israel has carried out.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo said the dissent was a problem that plagued him during his time in office \u2018when hundreds of State Department employees worked to subvert the mission of the Trump administration.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-media fn-video\">\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"m video-player\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2018Then as now, these dissenting staff fundamentally misunderstand their role and authority. Not a single American voted for them or their personal views on foreign policy. Their job is to serve the State Department as it executes the elected President\u2019s foreign policy objectives to keep America safe,\u2019 he said. \u2018To do otherwise is not just inappropriate; it is deeply at odds with our Constitutional order and subverts the will of the American people.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Apart from their general outspokenness about government policy, Pompeo argued that the staff \u2018are also dead wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Their moral compass is broken,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is absolutely right for America to back Israel in its war against the barbaric Hamas terrorists who committed the worst massacre against Jews since the Holocaust. Supporting Israel right now isn\u2019t about politics. It\u2019s about enabling the triumph of good over true evil,\u2019 he asserted. \u2018Any staffer who fails to recognize this does not deserve the honor of serving the American people at the State Department or any other government agency.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Biden on Wednesday said he believes that Israel\u2019s military operation in Gaza will stop when Hamas \u2018no longer maintains the capacity to murder, abuse, and do horrific things to the Israelis.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Hamas said they plan to attack Israelis again and this is a terrible dilemma,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019 Anders Hagstrom and Chris Pandolfo contributed to this report.<\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unleashed a fiery response to Biden administration officials who signed on to a dissent letter over President Biden\u2019s pro-Israel stance in its fight against Hamas terrorists \u2014 with the former top diplomat saying their moral compass \u2018is broken.\u2019 \u2018People who serve our country in any government institution, whether in <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":11804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
